Why are potatoes bitter after boiling?
Reading time - 3 minutes.
If at the stage of purchase you found a green color on the skin of a potato - know that the potato will definitely taste bitter in any ready-made dish. It's not worth buying this. These are fruits with a poisonous substance solanine, which causes poisoning and poor health in a person. If you find a greenish color already when peeling, try to remove as much of the peel as possible by cutting it off with a thick layer with a knife.
Bitterness may be present due to the large amount of nitrates or chemicals used to fertilize the potatoes. Improper storage can also cause a disgusting taste, as well as too large neglected sprouts, which can leave an unpleasant aftertaste for the entire finished dish. Buy products from trusted manufacturers, checking quality certificates and official invoices.
